The thing is, I don't think he said it just to get attention. I think he said it because he has a totally myopic view of life. It wasn't the optimum situation for him, therefore, it must not be the optimum situation for everybody.

The media has an exaggerated opinion about their importance. The public does not have the right to know everything. The press is not an entity that has to have every whim catered to. Bill Belichek does not have to let us know why he didn't play Malcolm Butler. Only Robert Kraft can demand an answer. The media does not have to know Kyle Lowery's opinion on the DeRozan trade. If an athlete wants to let a reporter know what is going on in the locker room, that is his prerogative. If an athlete decides to listen to a bunch of questions that is his choice to make. The media needs to be reminded of their role. Their place. Be grateful you have a job that will comp your ticket, meals & hotel to go ask the same boring, non-consequential questions you've asked before & will the entire season.
